やめてよふざけないで
ヤダみんなホラ見ているじゃない
シャンパンソーダも笑うから
グラスあわせましょう

ウインクする私机鳴らすあなた
マリンドライブレストラン結婚の約束
おめでとうと私ありがとうとあなた

式には必ず行くわおめかしして

学生時代あなたと彼女
やっぱり私の言ったとおりね
この店もよく3人で来た
そうずっと前に知ってた

やめてよふざけないで
スプーンがゆれて飲めないわ
ヴィシソワーズも火照っちゃう
有頂天なの見てられない
小指でくすぐらないで
ヤダみんなホラ見ているじゃない
シャンパンソーダも笑うから
グラスあわせましょう

想い出すわ私白いポロのあなた
チーズバーガー頬張って読むボブグリーン

そう、なんだかんだ理由をつけては
私と彼女にくっついて来た
あきれるくらい解りやすくて
そういつもいつも見ていた

やめてよふざけないで
ゴキゲンなのはわかったけど
メインディッシュをどうぞ
おいしいものは冷めぬうち
あなたが鈍いのか
私が嘘つき上手なのか
今はどうでもいいことね
今は過ぎたことね

やめてよふざけないで
おかしくて涙が出てきちゃう
シュガーピンクのクロス
できた水玉は隠して

そのまま笑っていて
余計なことは言ったらダメよ
あなたがそんなに幸せなら
私嬉しいのよ

そうよ嬉しいのよ
そうよ嬉しいのよ
